Quality Control

Our 5-o-Feruloylquinic Acid is produced under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC for purity verification and identity confirmation by spectroscopic methods, to ensure it meets exacting standards for research and development. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications are available upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its light-sensitive and easily oxidized nature, long-term storage under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) is recommended to maintain stability and potency.
